Pujols’ locker goes for more than $21,000
I realize that St. Louis Cardinals fans are some of the most committed fans in Major League Baseball. They’ve supported their teams through the good, the bad, and the ugly, and now that the Cardinals are about to open a new stadium, Cardinals fans are snapping up souvenirs from Busch Stadium as quickly as they possibly can. Some of it’s getting to be rather silly, though:
Foul pole: $4,347
Bullpen phone: $2,174
Bullpen urinal: $2,174
Items from Manager Tony LaRussa’s office: $7,002
Jim Edmonds’ locker: $12,730
Albert Pujols’ locker: $21,503
Home plate from the final game against Houston: $16,762
Giving thanks that I’m not a Cardinals fan: priceless
Of course, if this is all too rich for your blood…or if common sense simply takes hold of your checking account, and if you can hold out until this weekend, you’ll be able to buy vials of Busch Stadium infield dirt for the low, low price of $5.00. Perhaps if fans are fortunate, they’ll also be able to pick up a vial of Ganges River holy water or Napoleon Bonaparte’s embalmed penis. Me? I’m just glad I’m not a Cardinals fan.
